EXPLANATORY NOTE
This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2014, of Prologis, Inc. and Prologis, L.P. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to Prologis, Inc. or the REIT, mean Prologis, Inc., and its consolidated subsidiaries; and references to Prologis, L.P. or the Operating Partnership mean Prologis, L.P., and its consolidated subsidiaries. The terms the Company, Prologis, we, our or us means the REIT and the Operating Partnership collectively.
Prologis, Inc. is a real estate investment trust and the general partner of the Operating Partnership. As of March 31, 2014, Prologis, Inc. owned an approximate 99.65% common general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership and 100% of the preferred units in the Operating Partnership. The remaining approximate 0.35% common limited partnership interests are owned by non-affiliated investors and certain current and former directors and officers of Prologis, Inc. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, Prologis, Inc. has full, exclusive and complete responsibility and discretion in the day-to-day management and control of the Operating Partnership.
We operate the REIT and the Operating Partnership as one enterprise. The management of the REIT consists of the same members as the management of the Operating Partnership. These members are officers of the REIT and employees of the Operating Partnership or one of its direct or indirect subsidiaries. As general partner with control of the Operating Partnership, the REIT consolidates the Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes, and the REIT does not have significant assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of the REIT and the Operating Partnership are the same on their respective financial statements.
We believe combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of the REIT and the Operating Partnership into this single report results in the following benefits:
| enhances investors understanding of the REIT and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business; |
| eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation since a substantial portion of the Companys disclosure applies to both the REIT and the Operating Partnership; and |
| creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports. |
We believe it is important to understand the few differences between the REIT and the Operating Partnership in the context of how we operate as an interrelated consolidated company. The REITs only material asset is its ownership of partnership interests in the Operating Partnership. As a result, the REIT does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and issuing public equity from time to time. The REIT itself does not issue any indebtedness, but guarantees the unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership holds substantially all the assets of the business, directly or indirectly, and holds the ownership interests in the Companys investment in certain entities. The Operating Partnership conducts the operations of the business and is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity. Except for net proceeds from equity issuances by the REIT, which are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for partnership units, the Operating Partnership generates the capital required by the business through the Operating Partnerships operations, its incurrence of indebtedness and the issuance of partnership units to third parties.
Noncontrolling interests, stockholders equity and partners capital are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the REIT and those of the Operating Partnership. The noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnerships financial statements include the interests in consolidated entities not owned by the Operating Partnership. The noncontrolling interests in the REITs financial statements include the same noncontrolling interests at the Operating Partnership level, as well as the common limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership, which are accounted for as partners capital by the Operating Partnership.
In order to highlight the differences between the REIT and the Operating Partnership, there are separate sections in this report, as applicable, that separately discuss the REIT and the Operating Partnership including separate financial statements, controls and procedures sections, and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications. In the sections that combine disclosure of the REIT and the Operating Partnership, this report refers to actions or holdings as being actions or holdings of Prologis.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. | General |
Business. Prologis, Inc. (the REIT) commenced operations as a fully integrated real estate company in 1997, elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (Internal Revenue Code), and believes the current organization and method of operation will enable the REIT to maintain its status as a real estate investment trust. The REIT is the general partner of Prologis, L.P. (the Operating Partnership). Through the controlling interest in the Operating Partnership, we are engaged in the ownership, acquisition, development and operation of industrial properties in global and regional markets throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia. Our current business strategy includes two reportable business segments: Real Estate Operations and Investment Management. Our Real Estate Operations segment represents the long-term ownership of industrial properties. Our Investment Management segment represents the long-term management of co-investment ventures. See Note 11 for further discussion of our business segments. Unless otherwise indicated, the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements apply to both the REIT and the Operating Partnership. The terms the Company, Prologis, we, our or us means the REIT and Operating Partnership collectively.
For each share of common stock or preferred stock the REIT issues, the Operating Partnership issues a corresponding common or preferred partnership unit, as applicable, to the REIT in exchange for the contribution of the proceeds from the stock issuance. As of March 31, 2014, the REIT owned an approximate 99.65% common general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership, and 100% of the preferred units. The remaining approximate 0.35% common limited partnership interests are owned by non-affiliated investors and certain current and former directors and officers of the REIT. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the REIT has full, exclusive and complete responsibility and discretion in the day-to-day management and control of the Operating Partnership. We operate the REIT and the Operating Partnership as one enterprise. The management of the REIT consists of the same members as the management of the Operating Partnership. These members are officers of the REIT and employees of the Operating Partnership or one of its direct or indirect subsidiaries. As general partner with control of the Operating Partnership, the REIT consolidates the Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes. The REIT does not have significant assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership and therefore, the assets and liabilities of the REIT and the Operating Partnership are the same on their respective financial statements.
Basis of Presentation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements, presented in the U.S. dollar, are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Our actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. All material intercompany transactions with consolidated entities have been eliminated.
The accompanying unaudited interim financial information has been prepared according to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. Our management believes that the disclosures presented in these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In our opinion, all adjustments and eliminations, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for both the REIT and the Operating Partnership for the reported periods have been included. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The accompanying unaudited interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2013, Consolidated Financial Statements of Prologis, as previously filed with the SEC on Form 10-K and other public information.
Certain amounts included in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for 2013, have been reclassified to conform to the 2014 financial statement presentation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In April 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard update that changed the criteria for classifying and reporting discontinued operations while enhancing disclosures. Under the new guidance, only disposals of a component of an entity, or a group of components of an entity, representing a strategic shift in operations should be presented as discontinued operations. Those strategic shifts should have, or will have, a major effect on the organizations operations and financial results. Examples of disposals that may meet the new criteria include a disposal of a major geographic area, a major line of business, or a major equity method investment. In addition, the new guidance requires additional disclosures about discontinued operations and the disposal of an individually significant component of an entity that does not meet the criteria for discontinued operations. We early adopted this standard prospectively for all disposals subsequent to January 1, 2014. Prior to adoption, the results of operations for real estate properties sold or held for sale during the reported periods were shown under Discontinued Operations on the Consolidated Statements of Operations (see Note 4). Going forward, we expect the majority of our dispositions will not qualify as discontinued operations and the results will be presented in Income from Continuing Operations.
In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an accounting standard update on the accounting for currency translation adjustment (CTA) when a parent sells or transfers part of its ownership interest in a foreign entity. When a company sells a subsidiary or group of assets that constitute a business while maintaining ownership of the foreign entity in which those assets or subsidiary reside, a complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity is required in order for a parent entity to release CTA to earnings. However, for a company that sells all or part of its ownership interest in a foreign entity, CTA is released upon the loss of a controlling financial interest in a consolidated foreign entity or partial sale of an equity method investment in a foreign entity. For step acquisitions, the CTA associated with the previous equity-method investment is fully released when control is obtained and consolidation occurs. We adopted this standard as of January 1, 2014, and it did not have, and we do not expect it to have, a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Acquisitions of Unconsolidated Co-Investment Ventures
On August 6, 2013, we concluded the unconsolidated co-investment venture Prologis North American Industrial Fund III. The venture sold 73 properties to a third party and we subsequently acquired our partners 80% ownership interest in the venture. The allocation of net assets acquired was $519.2 million in real estate assets and $22.0 million of net other assets. While the current allocation of the purchase price is substantially complete, the valuation of the real estate properties is being finalized. We do not expect future revisions, if any, to have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations.
On October 2, 2013, we acquired our partners 78.4% interest in the unconsolidated co-investment venture Prologis SGP Mexico and concluded the venture. The allocation of net assets acquired was $409.5 million in real estate assets and $4.0 million of net other assets and $158.4 million in debt. While the current allocation of the purchase price is substantially complete, the valuation of the real estate properties is being finalized. We do not expect future revisions, if any, to have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations.
The impact of the results in 2013 for the properties acquired in these acquisitions was not significant.

Summary of Investments
We have investments in entities through a variety of ventures. We co-invest in entities that own multiple properties with strategic capital investors and provide asset and property management services to these entities. We refer to these entities as co-investment ventures. Our ownership interest in these entities range from 15-55%. These entities may be consolidated or unconsolidated, depending on the structure, our partners rights and participation and our level of control of the entity. This note details our investments in unconsolidated co-investment ventures, which are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. See Note 7 for more detail regarding our consolidated investments.
We also have other ventures, generally with one partner and that we do not manage. We refer to our investments in the entities accounted for on the equity method, both unconsolidated co-investment ventures and other ventures, collectively, as unconsolidated entities.

Unconsolidated Co-Investment Ventures
As of March 31, 2014, we had investments in and managed unconsolidated co-investment ventures that own portfolios of operating industrial properties and may also develop properties. We account for our investments in these ventures under the equity method of accounting and, therefore, we record our share of each ventures net earnings or loss as Earnings from Unconsolidated Entities, Net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. We earn fees for the management services we provide to these ventures. These fees are recognized as earned and may include property and asset management fees or transactional fees for leasing, acquisition, construction, financing, legal and tax services. We may also earn incentive returns or promotes based on the third party investor returns over time. We report these fees and incentives as Investment Management Income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition, we may earn fees for services provided to develop a building within these ventures and those fees are reflected as Development Management and Other Income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Summarized information regarding the amounts we recognize in the Consolidated Statements of Operations from our investments in the unconsolidated co-investment ventures is as follows (in thousands):

(1) | During the first quarter of 2013, we recognized a gain of $9.7 million representing our share of the sale of two properties in the Prologis Brazil Logistics Partners Fund. |
(2) | During the first quarter of 2013, we started two new co-investment ventures, one in Europe and one in Japan, and started accounting for these ventures under the equity method and recognizing investment management income from these two new co-investment ventures. |
The amounts of Investment Management income and earnings we recognize depend on the size of co-investment ventures that we manage and in which we have an ownership interest. A summary of our outstanding unconsolidated co-investment ventures was as follows (square feet and total assets in thousands and represents 100% of the venture):

We concluded three co-investment ventures (the results of these ventures are included only through the transaction dates), and we launched two new co-investment ventures (the results of these ventures are included from the date these ventures acquired the properties). |
(2) | As of March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, we had receivables from NPR of $87.8 million and $88.5 million, respectively, related to customer security deposits that are made through a leasing company owned by Prologis that pertain to properties owned by NPR. There is a corresponding payable to NPRs customers in Other Liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2013, we had receivables from Prologis European Logistics Partners Sàrl (PELP) for remaining sale proceeds of $35.5 million which were received in the first quarter of 2014. The remaining amounts generally represent current balances for services provided by us to the co-investment ventures. |
(3) | As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we did not guarantee any third party debt of our co-investment ventures. |

In April 2014, we acquired a partners 5.6% ownership interest in the Prologis North American Industrial Fund for $83.5 million and now own 28.7% of the venture.
Equity Commitments Related to Certain Unconsolidated Co-Investment Ventures
Certain co-investment ventures have equity commitments from us and our venture partners. Our venture partners fulfill their equity commitment with cash. We may fulfill our equity commitment through contributions of properties or cash. The venture may obtain financing for the properties and therefore the acquisition price of additional investments that the venture could make may be more than the equity commitment. Depending on market conditions, the investment objectives of the ventures, our liquidity needs and other factors, we may make contributions of properties to these ventures through the remaining commitment period and we may make additional cash investments in these ventures.
The following table is a summary of remaining equity commitments as of March 31, 2014 (in millions):

5. | Discontinued Operations |
In April 2014, the FASB issued a standard updating the accounting and disclosure regarding discontinued operations. As discussed in Note 1, we have adopted this standard as of January 1, 2014. None of our property dispositions in 2014 met the new criteria to be classified as discontinued operations. The operations of the properties that were disposed of to third parties during 2013 that met the criteria for discontinued operations, including the aggregate net gains or losses recognized upon their disposition (See Note 3 for more detail on dispositions), are presented as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Income attributable to disposed properties and assets held for sale during the three months ended March 31, 2013, was as follows (in thousands):

(2) | Included in other debt is a term loan that can be extended until 2017 (two times each at one year), subject to satisfaction of certain conditions and payment of an extension fee. |
Debt Covenants
Our debt agreements contain various covenants, including maintenance of specified financial ratios. As of March 31, 2014, we were in compliance with all covenants.
7. | Noncontrolling Interests |
We consolidate several entities in which we do not own 100% of the common equity. In certain partnerships, the units of the entity are exchangeable into our common stock.
If we contribute a property to a consolidated co-investment venture, the property is still reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements, but due to our ownership of less than 100%, there is an increase in noncontrolling interest related to the contributed properties that represents the portion of the ownership attributable to our partners and the difference between cash received and historical cost is reflected as an adjustment to Additional Paid in Capital with no gain or loss recognized.
In January 2014, we closed on a U.S. co-investment venture, Prologis U.S. Logistics Venture (USLV), in which we hold a 55% equity ownership interest. The venture is consolidated for accounting purposes due to the structure and voting rights of the venture. At closing, the venture acquired from us a portfolio of 66 operating properties aggregating 12.8 million square feet for an aggregate purchase price of $1.0 billion.
The noncontrolling interests of the REIT include the noncontrolling interests presented for the Operating Partnership, as well as the common limited partnership units in the Operating Partnership that are not owned by the REIT. As of March 31, 2014, the REIT owned 99.65% common general partnership units in the Operating Partnership.
The following is a summary of the noncontrolling interests and the consolidated entitys total investment in real estate and debt at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (dollars in thousands):

Outperformance Plan
We grant awards in the form of points under our Outperformance Plan (OPP) corresponding to three-year performance periods. As of March 31, 2014, all awards were equity classified. At the end of the applicable performance period, if the performance criteria are met, the participants points will be paid in the form of common stock of the REIT or units of the Operating Partnership. The fair value of the awards are measured as of the grant date and amortized over the performance period.
We granted points on February 13, 2014, with a fair value of $23.1 million as of the date of the grant using a Monte Carlo valuation model that assumed a risk free interest rate of 0.67% and an expected volatility of 46% for Prologis and 30% for the index of selected peer companies. Such points related to a three-year performance period that began on January 1, 2014, and will end on December 31, 2016. We also granted points in 2012 (three-year performance period will end on December 31, 2014) and 2013 (three-year performance period will end on December 31, 2015).
We recognized $6.9 million and $7.8 million of compensation expense related to our outstanding OPP awards during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
9. | Earnings Per Common Share / Unit |
We determine basic earnings per share/unit based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock/units outstanding during the period. We compute diluted earnings per share/unit based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding combined with the incremental weighted average effect from all outstanding potentially dilutive instruments.
The following table sets forth the computation of our basic and diluted earnings per share/unit (in thousands, except per share/unit amounts):

10. | Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements |
Derivative Financial Instruments
In the normal course of business, our operations are exposed to global market risks, including the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. To manage these risks, we may enter into various derivative contracts, such as foreign currency contracts to manage foreign currency exposure, and interest rate swaps to manage the effect of interest rate fluctuations. The majority of our derivative financial instruments are customized derivative transactions and are not exchange-traded. We only enter into transactions that we believe will be highly effective at offsetting the underlying risk. There have been no significant changes in our policy or strategy from what was previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December, 31, 2013.
Foreign Currency
We hedge the net assets of certain international subsidiaries using foreign currency derivative contracts (net investment hedges) to offset the translation and economic exposures related to our investments in these subsidiaries by locking in a forward exchange rate at the inception of the hedge. We measure the effectiveness of our net investment hedges by using the changes in forward exchange rates because this method reflects our risk management strategies, the economics of those strategies in the financial statements and better manages interest rate differentials between different countries. Under this method, all changes in fair value of the forward currency derivative contracts designated as net investment hedges are reported in equity in the foreign currency translation component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) in the Consolidated Balance Sheets (AOCI) and offsets translation adjustments on the underlying net assets of our foreign investments, which are also recorded in AOCI. Ineffectiveness, if any, is recognized in earnings.
In certain circumstances, we may also borrow debt in a currency that is not the same functional currency of the borrowing entity to offset the translation and economic exposures related to our net investment in international subsidiaries. To mitigate the impact to our earnings from the fluctuations in the exchange rate, we may designate the debt as a non-derivative financial instrument hedge. We measure our effectiveness in the same manner as our net investment hedges described above. As a result, the change in the value of this debt upon translation is recorded in the foreign currency translation component of AOCI to offset the foreign currency fluctuations related to the net investment in our subsidiaries with the same functional currency as the debt.
Interest Rate
Our interest rate risk management strategy is to limit the impact of future interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows as well as to stabilize interest expense and manage our exposure to interest rate movements. We may enter into interest rate swap agreements that allow us to receive variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for us making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreement. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of AOCI in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and reclassified to Interest Expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations over the corresponding period of the hedged item. Losses on a derivative representing hedge ineffectiveness, if any, are recognized in Interest Expense at the time the ineffectiveness occurred.

As discussed in Note 6, we issued 700 million ($959.4 million) of debt in February 2014. This debt was issued by the Operating Partnership, which is a U.S. dollar functional entity, and designated as a non-derivative financial instrument hedge. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had 1.4 billion ($1.9 billion) and 700 million ($1.0 billion) of debt designated as non-derivative financial instrument hedges on our net investment in international subsidiaries, respectively. Amounts included in AOCI in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, were losses of $20.4 million and $14.9 million, respectively.
All derivatives are recognized at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are within the line items Other Assets or Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses, as applicable. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges and hedges of net investments in foreign operations are recorded as accumulated gains (losses) in AOCI in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we did not record any ineffectiveness on our derivative contracts. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we had no significant hedge ineffectiveness. In addition, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the interest rate swaps reclassified to interest expense was not considered significant for the first quarter of 2014, and is not expected to be significant for the next 12 months. In the first quarter 2013, the effective portion reclassified to interest expense was $2.3 million.

Fair Value Measurements
We have estimated the fair value of our financial instruments using available market information and valuation methodologies we believe to be appropriate for these purposes. Considerable judgment and a high degree of subjectivity are involved in developing these estimates and, accordingly, they are not necessarily indicative of amounts that we would realize upon disposition.
Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis
At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, other than the derivatives discussed above and in Note 6, we do not have any significant financial assets or financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the Consolidated Financial Statements. The fair value of our derivative instruments were determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, foreign exchange rates, and implied volatilities. The fair values of our interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts or payments and the discounted expected variable cash payments. The variable cash payments are based on an expectation of future interest rates, or forward curves, derived from observable market interest rate curves. The fair values of our net investment hedges are based upon the change in the spot rate at the end of the period as compared to the strike price at inception.
We incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our nonperformance risk and the respective counterpartys nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of our derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.
We have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Although the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and our counterparties, we assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our derivative positions and have determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives. As a result, all of our derivatives held as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, were classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Fair Value Measurements on Non-Recurring Basis
Assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis in the Consolidated Financial Statements consist of real estate assets and investments in and advances to unconsolidated entities that were subject to impairment charges. There were no assets that met these criteria at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, our carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses were representative of their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the fair value of our senior notes and exchangeable senior notes has been estimated based upon quoted market prices for the same (Level 1) or similar (Level 2) issues when current quoted market prices are available, the fair value of our Credit Facilities has been estimated by discounting the future cash flows using rates and borrowing spreads currently available to us (Level 3), and the fair value of our secured mortgage debt and assessment bonds that do not have current quoted market prices available has been estimated by discounting the future cash flows using rates currently available to us for debt with similar terms and maturities (Level 3). The differences in the fair value of our debt from the carrying value in the table below are the result of differences in interest rates and/or borrowing spreads that were available to us at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, as compared with those in effect when the debt was issued or acquired. The senior notes and many of the issues of secured mortgage debt contain pre-payment penalties or yield maintenance provisions that could make the cost of refinancing the debt at lower rates exceed the benefit that would be derived from doing so.

11. | Business Segments |
Our current business strategy includes two operating segments: Real Estate Operations and Investment Management. We generate revenues, earnings, net operating income and cash flows through our segments, as follows:
| Real Estate OperationsThis represents the direct long-term ownership of industrial operating properties and is the primary source of our revenue and earnings. We collect rent from our customers under operating leases, including reimbursements for the vast majority of our operating costs. Each operating property is considered to be an individual operating segment having similar economic characteristics that are combined within the reportable segment based upon geographic location. Our Real Estate Operations segment also includes development, re-development and acquisition activities. We develop, re-develop and acquire industrial properties primarily in global and regional markets to meet our customers needs. Within this line of business, we capitalize on: (i) the land that we currently own; (ii) the development expertise of our local personnel; (iii) our global customer relationships; and (iv) the demand for high quality distribution facilities in key markets. Land held for development, properties currently under development and land we own and lease to customers under ground leases are also included in this segment. |
| Investment ManagementThis represents the long-term management of unconsolidated co-investment ventures. We invest with partners and investors through our ventures, both private and public. We tailor industrial portfolios to investors specific needs and deploy capital with a focus on larger, long duration ventures and open ended funds with leading global institutions. These private and public vehicles source strategic capital for distinct geographies across our global platform. We hold an ownership interest in these ventures and believe our significant ownership in each of our ventures provides a strong alignment of interests with our partners. We generate investment management revenues from our unconsolidated co-investment ventures by providing asset management and property management services. We may earn revenues through additional services provided such as leasing, acquisition, construction, development, disposition, legal and tax services. Depending on the structure of the venture and the returns provided to our partners, we may also earn revenues through incentive returns or promotes during the life of a venture or upon liquidation. Each entity we manage is considered to be an individual operating segment having similar economic characteristics that are combined within the reportable segment based upon geographic location. |
Reconciliations are presented below for: (i) each reportable business segments revenue from external customers to Total Revenues in the Consolidated Statements of Operations; (ii) each reportable business segments net operating income from external customers to Earnings before Income Taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Operations; and (iii) each reportable business segments assets to Total Assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our chief operating decision makers rely primarily on net operating income and similar measures to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing segment performance. The applicable components of Total Revenues, Earnings before Income Taxes and Total Assets are allocated to each reportable business segments revenues, net operating income and assets. Items that are not directly assignable to a segment, such as certain corporate income and expenses, are reflected as reconciling items. The following reconciliations are presented in thousands:

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Prologis, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of March 31, 2014, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statement of equity for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Prologis, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 26, 2014, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has changed its method of accounting for discontinued operations as of January 1, 2014, on a prospective basis, due to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2014-08.

ITEM 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes included in Item 1 of this report and our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Certain statements contained in this discussion or elsewhere in this report may be deemed forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Words and phrases such as expects, anticipates, intends, plans, believes, seeks, estimates, designed to achieve, variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. All statements that address operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future including statements relating to rent and occupancy growth, development activity and sales or contribution volume or profitability on such sales and contributions, economic and market conditions in the geographic areas where we operate and the availability of capital in existing or new co-investment ventures are forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Although we believe the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our expectations will be attained and therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. Many of the factors that may affect outcomes and results are beyond our ability to control. For further discussion of these factors see Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. References to we, us and our refer to Prologis, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Managements Overview
We are the leading owner, operator and developer of industrial real estate, focused on global and regional markets across the Americas, Europe and Asia. As of March 31, 2014, we owned and managed operating properties and development projects totaling 574 million square feet (53.3 million square meters) in 21 countries. These properties were leased to more than 4,700 customers, including third-party logistics providers, transportation companies, retailers and manufacturers.
Prologis, Inc. (the REIT) is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, and is the sole general partner of Prologis, L.P. (the Operating Partnership). We operate the REIT and the Operating Partnership as one enterprise, and, therefore, our discussion and analysis refers to the REIT and its consolidated subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership, collectively.
Our business is comprised of two operating segments: Real Estate Operations and Investment Management.
Real Estate Operations Segment
Rental Operations This represents the primary source of our revenue, earnings and funds from operations (FFO). We collect rent from our customers under operating leases, including reimbursements for the vast majority of our operating costs. We expect to generate long-term internal growth in rental income by maintaining a high occupancy rate, controlling expenses and through rent increases. Our rental income is diversified due to our global presence and broad customer base. We believe that our property management, leasing and maintenance teams, together with our capital expenditure, energy management and risk management programs create cost efficiencies, and allow us to capitalize on the economies of scale inherent in owning, operating and growing a large global portfolio.
Capital Deployment - Capital deployment includes development, re-development and acquisition of industrial properties that lead to rental operations and are therefore included with that line of business for segment reporting. We deploy capital primarily in global and regional markets to meet our customers needs. Within this line of business, we capitalize on: (i) our land bank; (ii) the development expertise of our local personnel; (iii) our global customer relationships; and (iv) the demand for high-quality distribution facilities. We seek to increase our rental income and the net asset value of the Company through the leasing of newly developed space, as well as through the acquisition of operating properties. We also develop properties for long-term hold, for contribution into our co-investment ventures, or occasionally for sale to third parties.
Investment Management Segment - We invest with partners and investors through our ventures, both private and public. We tailor industrial portfolios to investors specific needs and deploy capital with a focus on larger, long duration ventures and open ended funds with leading global institutions. We also access alternative sources of public equity through publicly traded vehicles such as Nippon Prologis REIT, Inc. (NPR). These private and public vehicles provide capital for distinct geographies across our global platform. We hold a significant ownership interest in these ventures ranging between 15-55%, which we believe provides a strong alignment of interests with our partners. We generate investment management revenues from our unconsolidated ventures by providing asset management and property management services. We may earn additional revenues from leasing, acquisition, construction, development, disposition, legal and tax services. Depending on the structure of the venture and the returns provided to our partners, we may also earn revenues through incentive returns or promotes during the life of a venture or upon liquidation. We believe our co-investment ventures will continue to serve as a source of capital for investments, provide incremental revenues and mitigate risk associated with our foreign currency exposure. We plan to grow this business through the formation of new ventures and growth in existing ventures.
Growth Strategies
We believe the scale and quality of our operating platform, the skills of our team and the strength of our balance sheet provide us with unique competitive advantages. We have a plan to grow revenue, earnings, net operating income (NOI), Core FFO (see definition below) and dividends that is based on the following three key elements:
| Rising Rents. Market rents are growing across the majority of our markets at a pace ahead of our prior forecast. We believe this trend will continue, as market rents are still below replacement-cost-justified rents. We believe demand for logistics facilities is strong across the globe and will support increases in net effective rents as many of our in-place leases were originated during low rent periods. As we are able to recover the majority of our operating expenses from customers, the increase in rent translates into increased net operating income, earnings and cash flow. During the first quarter of 2014, rental rates on roll over increased 7% and we had positive rent growth across all geographies. This represented the fifth-consecutive quarter of rent growth. |
25
| Value Creation from Development. We believe one of the keys to a successful development program is to control land in strategic locations. Based on our current estimates, our land bank has the potential to support the development of nearly 180 million additional square feet. We believe that our land bank is carried on the books below the current fair value and we expect to realize this value going forward through development or sales. During the first quarter of 2014, we stabilized development projects with a total expected investment of $264 million. We estimate that after stabilization these buildings have a value that is 22% more than their book value (using estimated yield and capitalization rates from our underwriting models). |
| Economies of Scale from Growth in Assets Under Management. We believe we have the infrastructure and an acquisition pipeline that will allow us to increase our investments in real estate, with minimal increases to general and administrative expenses. During the quarter, our owned and managed portfolio increased through the acquisition of $370.5 million of buildings, principally in our unconsolidated ventures in Europe, and development starts of $172.2 million. |
Summary of 2014
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we completed the following activities:
| We leased 33.7 million square feet in our owned and managed portfolio with average turnover costs (tenant improvements and leasing costs) of $1.26 per square foot. At March 31, 2014, our owned and managed operating portfolio was 94.5% occupied and 94.8% leased. This compares to 95.1% occupied and 95.1% leased at December 31, 2013, and 93.7% occupied and 94.2% leased at March 31, 2013. |
| Effective rental rates for leases signed during the quarter in our owned and managed portfolio increased 7.0% over in-place rents. In addition, we retained 84.6% of customers whose leases were expiring. |
| We commenced construction of 13 development projects on an owned and managed basis, aggregating 2.4 million square feet with a total expected investment of $172.2 million (our share was $140.5 million), including three projects (39% of our share of the total expected investment) that were 100% leased prior to the start of development. These projects have an estimated weighted average yield at stabilization of 7.7% and an estimated development margin of 22.2%. We used $35.5 million of land we already owned for these projects. We expect these developments to be completed on or before February 2015. |
| We invested $281.5 million in one of our unconsolidated co-investment ventures for acquisition of properties and debt repayment. |
| In January 2014, we closed on a U.S. co-investment venture, Prologis U.S. Logistics Venture (USLV), in which we have a 55% equity ownership and consolidate. At closing, the venture acquired a portfolio of 66 operating properties from us aggregating 12.8 million square feet for a purchase price of $1.0 billion. |
| We generated net proceeds of $81.2 million from the disposition of land and five operating buildings to third parties and recognized a net gain of $16.1 million. |
| We issued 700 million of senior notes in February and used the net proceeds primarily to repay borrowings under our credit facilities. |
| We increased the portion of our equity denominated in U.S. dollars to 82% from 77% at December 31, 2013. |
Operational Outlook
The global logistics real estate market improved in the first quarter of 2014. Operating fundamentals are strengthening and we believe this trend will continue as the leading indicators of industrial real estate are positive. Global trade is expected to grow 4.3% in 2014 and 5.3% in 2015 (a). Based on our internal analysis, activity levels and space utilization in our facilities continues to trend higher, which means our customers have limited capacity to handle their current needs and potential future growth.
Market conditions in the U.S. are favorable and an ongoing supply and demand imbalance exists. Net absorption continues to exceed new supply, albeit at a more modest pace than in 2013. During the quarter, net absorption totaled 43 million square feet and completions were 23 million square feet (b). These conditions have driven U.S. market vacancy to 7.0%, which is the lowest since 2000 (b). As customer demand remains active and supply pipelines are below historical norms, we expect vacancy to continue to decline and rental rates to increase further.
Operating conditions in our Latin American markets are positive. In Mexico, GDP growth is expected to be 3.0% in 2014, up from just 1.1% last year (a). Demand has continued to recover and the market occupancy rate across the six largest logistics markets (Mexico City, Monterrey, Guadalajara, Juarez, Reynosa and Tijuana) was 91.6% at March 31, 2014, an increase of 0.7% from the prior year, based on internally generated data. Brazil is an underserved logistics market. Consequently, while economic growth has been uneven, demand for modern logistics facilities remains strong as companies serve the growing consumer market.
In Europe, operating conditions are improving although at an uneven pace. Economic momentum turned positive in 2013 and, in our view, brighter macroeconomic prospects are generating demand for logistics facilities. Customer sentiment is also strengthening. The pan-European market occupancy was 91.3% (c) as of December 31, 2013, higher than the level achieved in 2007 as near-record low development activity has tightened the market. The occupancy rate rose 1.0% in 2013 and we expect further gains in 2014 due to prospects for stronger demand and still-low development levels. We expect net effective rents will increase and the recovery will broaden. We believe improving occupancy and rent growth, combined with a rapid decline in capitalization rates will lead to an increase in European logistics real estate values.
26
Market expansion is evident in our Asian markets and our business is a direct beneficiary. In Japan, vacancy rates remain below 5% (b).The availability of Class-A distribution space remains constrained and net effective rents are rising; in part due to upward pressure on construction costs, especially in Tokyo and Osaka. Increasing development costs, driven by higher land and construction pricing, are expected to keep new supply in balance. Demand in China is accelerating and we see new requirements from retailers and e-commerce customers. In our view, low vacancy rates will lead to significant rental rate growth. Barriers to supply continue to drive rents ahead of inflation, and we believe that we are well positioned with our development platform to meet this accelerating demand.
We believe elevated occupancy rates across our markets, coupled with the still-gradual pickup in new construction starts, are leading to notable increases in effective rents. We expect to use our land bank to support increased development activity in this environment. Our development business comprises speculative, build-to-suit, value-added conversions and redevelopment activities. We will develop directly and within our co-investment ventures, depending on location, market conditions, submarkets or building sites and availability of capital.

Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 and 2013
Real Estate Operations Segment
Included this segment is rental income and rental expense recognized from our consolidated operating properties. We had significant real estate activity during 2013 that impacted the size of our portfolio. In addition, the operating fundamentals in our markets have been improving, which has impacted both the occupancy and rental rates we have experienced, and has fueled development activity. Also included in this segment is revenue from land we own and lease to customers and development management and other income, offset by acquisition, disposition and land holding costs.
We adopted a new accounting standard as of January 1, 2014, which changed the criteria for classifying and reporting discontinued operations. As a result, none of our property dispositions in 2014 met the criteria to be classified as discontinued operations, while the results of properties sold to third parties during 2013 were reclassified to Discontinued Operations under the previous standard.
NOI from the Real Estate Operations segment for the three months ended March 31 was as follows (dollars in thousands):

Occupied % |
94.6 | % | 94.9 | % | 93.1 | % |
Below are the key drivers that have influenced the NOI of this segment:
| We contributed a significant amount of properties into two new unconsolidated co-investment ventures in February and March 2013. As a result of the contributions of these properties, our NOI decreased $80.2 million in 2014 from 2013. Since we have an ongoing ownership interest in these ventures, our share of the results remained in Continuing Operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in Item 1 through the contribution date. |
| Average occupancy of our operating properties increased from 93.1% at March 31, 2013, to 94.6% as of March 31,2014. In our Real Estate Operations segment in 2014, we leased a total of 16.7 million square feet and incurred average turnover costs of $1.66 per square foot. This compares to the first quarter of 2013, during which we leased 21.9 million square feet with average turnover costs of $1.52 per square feet. The increase in turnover costs is due to higher leasing commissions as a result of the longer term and higher value on the leases signed. |
| We recognize changes in rental income from certain contractual rent increases from our existing leases and from rent change on new leases. If a lease has a contractual rent increase based on the consumer price index or similar metric, it is not included in rent leveling and therefore any increase will impact the rental income we recognize. |
27
| We increase the size of our portfolio through acquisition and development activity and expect to continue to do so in the future. During the first quarter of 2014, we completed or acquired 13 properties and in all of 2013, 42 properties. |
| Under the terms of our lease agreements, we are able to recover the majority of our rental expenses from customers. Rental expense recoveries, included in both rental income and rental expenses, were 79.0% and 74.3% of total rental expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. |
Investment Management Segment
The NOI from the Investment Management segment represents fees and incentives earned for services performed reduced by investment management expenses (direct costs of managing these entities and the properties they own).

Investment management expenses, which include direct costs associated with asset and property management, totaled $24.2 million and $19.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in NOI in 2014 was due to the new ventures that were formed in Europe and Asia during first quarter 2013.

|
|||||
G&A expenses |
$ | 63,203 | $ | 56,197 | ||||
|
|
|
|
The increase in gross overhead was principally due to timing differences and we expect future quarters to be lower than the first three months of 2014. We allocate a portion of our G&A expenses that relate to property management functions to our Real Estate Operations and Investment Management segments.
We capitalize certain costs directly related to our development and leasing activities. Capitalized G&A expenses include salaries and related costs, as well as other general and administrative costs. The capitalized G&A for the three months ended March 31, were as follows (in thousands):
2014 | 2013 | |||||||

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the capitalized salaries and related costs represented 23.0% and 24.8%, respectively, of our total salaries and related costs. Salaries and related costs are comprised primarily of wages, other compensation and employee-related expenses.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expenses were $160.3 million and $172.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The decrease was principally a result of disposition and contribution of properties, offset slightly by additional depreciation and amortization from completed development properties and increased leasing activity.
Earnings from Unconsolidated Entities, Net
We recognized earnings related to our investments in unconsolidated entities that are accounted for under the equity method of $29.7 million and $24.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The earnings we recognize are impacted by: (i) variances in revenues and expenses of the entity; (ii) the size and occupancy rate of the portfolio of properties owned by the entity; (iii) our ownership interest in the entity; and (iv) fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates used to translate our share of net earnings to U.S. dollars, if applicable. We manage the majority of the properties in which we have an ownership interest as part of our owned and managed portfolio. See the discussion of our co-investment ventures above in the Investment Management segment discussion and in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 for further breakdown of our share of net earnings recognized.

Gross interest expense decreased in 2014 compared to 2013 due to lower debt levels, offset slightly by an increase in interest rates. As of March 31, 2014, we decreased our debt by $0.2 billion from March 31, 2013. Near the end of the first quarter of 2013, we decreased our debt by $2.7 billion, primarily from the proceeds received with the contributions made to our two new unconsolidated co-investment ventures. Our weighted average effective interest rate was 4.7% and 4.6% for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 and Liquidity and Capital Resources for further discussion of our debt and borrowing costs.

Gains on Acquisitions and Dispositions of Investments in Real Estate, Net
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recognized gains on acquisitions and dispositions of investments in real estate of $17.1 million, primarily related to the disposition of properties and land in the United States and Europe. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we recognized net gains on dispositions of investments in real estate in continuing operations of $338.8 million, primarily related to the contribution of properties to NPR.
Foreign Currency and Derivative Gains (Losses), Net
We recognized unrealized losses of $27.0 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, on the derivative instrument (exchange feature) related to our exchangeable senior notes. In 2014, this amount included $4.2 million related to the amortization of a discount associated with the derivative instrument.
Gains (Losses) on Early Extinguishment of Debt, Net
During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we extinguished certain secured mortgage debt and several series of senior notes prior to maturity, which resulted in the recognition of losses of $17.4 million.
Income Tax (Benefit) Expense
During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, our current income tax expense was $5.8 million and $55.5 million, respectively. We recognize current income tax expense for income taxes incurred by our taxable real estate investment trust subsidiaries and in certain foreign jurisdictions, as well as certain state taxes. Our current income tax expense fluctuates from period to period based primarily on the timing of our taxable income. The majority of the current income tax expense for both periods relates to asset sales and contributions of properties that were held in foreign subsidiaries or taxable real estate investment trust subsidiaries.
During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we recognized a net deferred tax expense of $1.0 million and benefit of $3.6 million, respectively. Deferred income tax expense is generally a function of the periods temporary differences and the utilization of net operating losses generated in prior years that had been previously recognized as deferred income tax assets in taxable subsidiaries operating in the United States or in foreign jurisdictions.
Discontinued Operations
As discussed above, we adopted a new accounting standard regarding discontinued operations effective January 1, 2014, and none of our property dispositions in 2014 met the criteria to be classified as discontinued operations. Earnings from discontinued operations were $7.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Discontinued operations represent the results of operations of properties that were sold to third parties along with the related gain or loss on sale. The result of operations that have been classified as discontinued operations are reported separately in the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1.
See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 for additional information on our discontinued operations.
Net Earnings Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests
During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest for the REIT was $5.2 million and $12.1 million, respectively. The decrease from 2013 was due to the reduction of earnings in one of our consolidated co-investment ventures following the sale of a majority of its portfolio in the fourth quarter of 2013 and the gain on sale of properties recognized in the first quarter of 2013. This was offset slightly by the increase in earnings from the establishment of USLV in the first quarter of 2014.
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) Foreign Currency Translation Gains (Losses), Net
For our consolidated subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, we translate their financial statements into U.S. dollars at the time we consolidate those subsidiaries financial statements. Generally, assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect as of the balance sheet date. The resulting translation adjustments, due to the fluctuations in exchange rates from the beginning of the period to the end of the period, are included in Foreign Currency Translation Gains (Losses), Net in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) in Item 1.
During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we recorded unrealized losses of $4.7 million and $286.3 million, respectively, related to foreign currency translations of our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars upon consolidation. In 2013, this included approximately $190 million of foreign currency translation losses on the properties contributed to Prologis European Logistics Partners Sàrl (PELP) and NPR due to the weakening of the euro and Japanese yen, respectively, to the U.S. dollar from December 31, 2012, through the date of the contributions.

Same Store Analysis
We evaluate the performance of the operating properties we own and manage using a same store analysis because the population of properties in this analysis is consistent from period to period, thereby eliminating the effects of changes in the composition of the portfolio on performance measures. We include properties from our consolidated portfolio, and properties owned by the co-investment ventures (accounted for on the equity method) that are managed by us (referred to as co-investment ventures), in our same store analysis. We have defined the same store portfolio, for the three months ended March 31, 2014, as those properties that were in operation at January 1, 2013, and have been in operation throughout the three-month periods in both 2014 and 2013. We have removed all properties that were disposed of to a third party or were classified as held for sale from the population for both periods. We believe the factors that impact rental income, rental expenses and net operating income in the same store portfolio are generally the same as for the total portfolio. In order to derive an appropriate measure of period-to-period operating performance, we remove the effects of foreign currency exchange rate movements by using the current exchange rate to translate from local currency into U.S. dollars, for both periods. The same store portfolio, for the three months ended March 31, 2014, included 505.6 million of aggregated square feet.

(1) | As discussed above, our same store portfolio includes industrial properties from our consolidated portfolio and owned by the co-investment ventures (accounted for on the equity method) that are managed by us. During the periods presented, certain properties owned by us were contributed to a co-investment venture and are included in the same store portfolio on an aggregate basis. Neither our consolidated results nor those of the co-investment ventures, when viewed individually, would be comparable on a same store basis due to the changes in composition of the respective portfolios from period to period (for example, the results of a contributed property are included in our consolidated results through the contribution date and in the results of the unconsolidated entities subsequent to the contribution date). |
31
(2) | We exclude the net termination and renegotiation fees from our same store rental income to allow us to evaluate the growth or decline in each propertys rental income without regard to items that are not indicative of the propertys recurring operating performance. Net termination and renegotiation fees represent the gross fee negotiated to allow a customer to terminate or renegotiate their lease, offset by the write-off of the asset recorded due to the adjustment to straight-line rents over the lease term. The adjustments to remove these items are included in effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and other in the tables above. |
(3) | These amounts include activity of both our consolidated industrial properties and those owned by our unconsolidated co-investment ventures and managed by us. |
(4) | Rental expenses in the same store portfolio include the direct operating expenses of the property such as property taxes, insurance, utilities, etc. In addition, we include an allocation of the property management expenses for our direct-owned properties based on the property management fee that is provided for in the individual management agreements under which our wholly owned management companies provide property management services to each property (generally, the fee is based on a percentage of revenues). On consolidation, the management fee income earned by the management companies and the management fee expense recognized by the properties are eliminated and the actual costs of providing property management services are recognized as part of our consolidated rental expenses. These expenses fluctuate based on the level of properties included in the same store portfolio and any adjustment is included as effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and other in the above table. |
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
We consider our ability to generate cash from operating activities, dispositions of properties and from available financing sources to be adequate to meet our anticipated future development, acquisition, operating, debt service, dividend and distribution requirements.
Near-Term Principal Cash Sources and Uses
In addition to dividends to the common and preferred stockholders of Prologis and distributions to the holders of limited partnership units of the Operating Partnership and other partnerships, we expect our primary cash needs will consist of the following:
| repayment of debt, including payments on our credit facilities and scheduled principal payments for the remainder of 2014, of $295 million; |
| completion of the development and leasing of the properties in our consolidated development portfolio (a); |
| development of new properties for long-term investment, including the acquisition of land in certain markets; |
| capital expenditures and leasing costs on properties in our operating portfolio; |
| additional investments in current unconsolidated entities or new investments in future unconsolidated entities (such as the acquisition of 5.6% interest in our co-investment venture Prologis North American Industrial Fund from another investor for $83.5 million in April 2014); |
| depending on market and other conditions, acquisition of operating properties and/or portfolios of operating properties in global or regional markets for direct, long-term investment (this may include acquisitions from our co-investment ventures); and |
| depending on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors, we may repurchase our outstanding debt or equity securities through cash purchases, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers or otherwise. In April 2014, we repurchased $185.0 million in senior notes that were scheduled to mature after 2014. |
(a) | As of March 31, 2014, we had 57 properties in our development portfolio that were 45.6% leased with a current investment of $1.1 billion and a total expected investment of $1.8 billion when completed and leased, leaving $744.0 million remaining to be spent. |
We expect to fund our cash needs principally from the following sources, all subject to market conditions:
| available unrestricted cash balances ($188.9 million at March 31, 2014); |
| property operations; |
| fees and incentives earned for services performed on behalf of the co-investment ventures and distributions received from the co-investment ventures; |
| proceeds from the disposition of properties, land parcels or other investments to third parties; |
| proceeds from the contributions of properties to current or future co-investment ventures; |
| borrowing capacity under our current credit facility arrangements discussed below ($2.3 billion available as of March 31, 2014), other facilities or borrowing arrangements; |
32
| proceeds from the issuance of equity securities, including through an at-the-market offering program (we have an equity distribution agreement that allows us to sell up to $750 million aggregate gross sales proceeds of shares of common stock generally through two designated agents, who earn a fee of up to 2% of the gross proceeds, as agreed to on a transaction-by-transaction basis). We have not issued any shares of common stock under this program; and |
| proceeds from the issuance of debt securities, including secured mortgage debt. |
Debt
As of March 31, 2014, we had $8.9 billion of debt with a weighted average interest rate of 4.4% and a weighted average maturity of 66 months. At December 31, 2013, we had $9.0 billion of debt with a weighted average interest rate of 4.2% and a weighted average maturity of 58 months. Our debt levels remained relatively consistent, but we lengthened the maturities by issuing longer-term debt (such as 700 million of 3.375% senior notes maturing 2024) and repaying borrowings under our credit facilities, which results in a higher average interest rate.
As of March 31, 2014, we had credit facilities with an aggregate borrowing capacity of $2.5 billion, of which $2.3 billion was available.
As of March 31, 2014, we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants. These covenants include customary financial covenants for total debt, encumbered debt and fixed charge coverage ratios.
See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 for further discussion on our debt.
Equity Commitments Related to Certain Co-Investment Ventures
Certain co-investment ventures have equity commitments from us and our venture partners. Our venture partners fulfill their equity commitment with cash. We may fulfill our equity commitment through contributions of properties or cash. The venture may obtain financing for the properties and therefore the acquisition price of additional investments that the venture could make may be more than the equity commitment. Depending on market conditions, the investment objectives of the ventures, our liquidity needs and other factors, we may make contributions of properties to these ventures through the remaining commitment period and we may make additional cash investments in these ventures.

Cash Provided by Operating Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, operating activities provided net cash of $72.2 million and $129.1 million, respectively. In the first three months of 2014 and 2013, cash provided by operating activities was less than the cash dividends paid on common and preferred stock by $96.0 million and $11.4 million, respectively. We used proceeds from the dispositions and contribution of real estate properties to consolidated and unconsolidated entities ($0.5 billion in 2014 and $3.3 billion in 2013) to fund dividends not covered by cash flows from operating activities.
Cash Investing and Cash Financing Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, investing activities used net cash of $517.1 million and provided net cash of $2.8 billion, respectively. The following are the significant activities for both periods presented:
| We generated cash from contributions and dispositions of properties and land parcels of $81.2 million and $3.3 billion during 2014 and 2013, respectively. The activity in 2013 includes the contribution of real estate properties to our co-investment ventures, PELP and NPR of $1.3 billion and $1.9 billion, respectively. In 2014, we disposed of land and five operating properties to third parties. |
| We invested $244.3 million and $161.7 million in 2014 and 2013, respectively, in real estate development and leasing costs for first generation leases. We have 43 properties under development and 14 properties that are completed but not stabilized as of March 31, 2014. |
33
| We invested $40.9 million and $43.0 million in our operating properties during 2014 and 2013, respectively, which included recurring capital expenditures, tenant improvements and leasing commissions on existing operating properties that were previously leased. |
| In 2014, we acquired 50 acres of land for $77.3 million. In 2013, we acquired 59 acres of land and one operating property for a combined total of $55.9 million. |
| In 2014 and 2013, we invested cash of $328.3 million and $258.4 million, respectively, in our unconsolidated co-investment ventures, net of repayment of advances by the entities. Our investment in 2014 principally relates to an additional investment in PELP of $281.5 million for the acquisition of operating properties and the repayment of debt by the venture. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 for more detail on our unconsolidated entities. |
| We received distributions from unconsolidated entities as a return of investment of $92.5 million and $82.8 million during 2014 and 2013, respectively. |
For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, financing activities provided net cash of $132.2 million and used net cash of $2.3 billion, respectively. The following are the significant activities for both periods presented:
| We paid dividends of $168.2 million and $140.5 million to our common and preferred stockholders during 2014 and 2013, respectively. |
| In 2014 and 2013, partners in consolidated co-investment ventures made contributions of $452.3 million and $8.4 million, respectively. In 2014, the contributions were primarily related to the newly formed co-investment venture USLV. |
| In 2014, we issued 700 million ($959.4 million) of senior notes as discussed above. |
| During 2014, we made net payments of $710.4 million on regularly scheduled debt principal payments and payments at maturity. During 2013, we repurchased and extinguished exchangeable senior notes, secured mortgage debt, senior term loans and other debt of consolidated entities and made regularly scheduled debt principal payments and payments at maturity for a combined total of $1.6 billion. |
| We made net payments of $607.5 million and $496.0 million on our credit facilities during 2014 and 2013, respectively. |
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Unconsolidated Co-Investment Venture Debt
We had investments in and advances to unconsolidated co-investment ventures at March 31, 2014, of $4.5 billion. These unconsolidated ventures had total third party debt of $7.4 billion (in the aggregate, not our proportionate share) at March 31, 2014. This debt is primarily secured or collateralized by properties within the venture and is non-recourse to Prologis and the other investors in the co-investment ventures and matures as follows (dollars in millions):

(1) | As of March 31, 2014, we did not guarantee any third party debt of the co-investment ventures. In our role as manager, we work with the co-investment ventures to refinance their maturing debt. There can be no assurance that the co-investment ventures will be able to refinance any maturing indebtedness on terms as favorable as the maturing debt, or at all. If the ventures are unable to refinance the maturing indebtedness with newly issued debt, they may be able to obtain funds by voluntary capital contributions from us and our partners or by selling assets. Certain of the ventures also have credit facilities, or unencumbered properties, both of which may be used to obtain funds. Generally, the co-investment ventures issue long-term debt and utilize the proceeds to repay borrowings under the credit facilities. Prologis share is calculated based on our ownership interest. |
(2) | Subsequent to quarter end, the co-investment venture issued 300 million ($413.9 million) in notes in the Eurobond market to repay existing debt scheduled to mature in 2014. |
(3) | The co-investment venture has the option to extend the amounts maturing in 2014 until 2015, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions and payment of an extension fee. |

Contractual Obligations
Distribution and Dividend Requirements
Our dividend policy on our common stock is to distribute a percentage of our cash flow to ensure we will meet the dividend requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, relative to maintaining our real estate investment trust status, while still allowing us to retain cash to meet other needs such as capital improvements and other investment activities.
We paid a cash dividend of $0.33 per common share for the first quarter on March 31, 2014. Our future common stock dividends may vary and will be determined by our board of directors upon the circumstances prevailing at the time, including our financial condition, operating results and real estate investment trust distribution requirements, and may be adjusted at the discretion of the board of directors during the year.
At March 31, 2014, we had one series of preferred stock outstanding, the series Q. The annual dividend rate is 8.54% per share and dividends are payable quarterly in arrears.
Pursuant to the terms of our preferred stock, we are restricted from declaring or paying any dividend with respect to our common stock unless and until all cumulative dividends with respect to the preferred stock have been paid and sufficient funds have been set aside for dividends that have been declared for the relevant dividend period with respect to the preferred stock.
Other Commitments
On a continuing basis, we are engaged in various stages of negotiations for the acquisition and/or disposition of individual properties or portfolios of properties.
New Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1.
Funds from Operations (FFO)
FFO is a non-GAAP measure that is commonly used in the real estate industry. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to FFO is net earnings. Although the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) has published a definition of FFO, modifications to the NAREIT calculation of FFO are common among real estate investment trusts, as companies seek to provide financial measures that meaningfully reflect their business.
FFO is not meant to represent a comprehensive system of financial reporting and does not present, nor do we intend it to present, a complete picture of our financial condition and operating performance. We believe net earnings computed under GAAP remains the primary measure of performance and that FFO is only meaningful when it is used in conjunction with net earnings computed under GAAP. Further, we believe our consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP, provide the most meaningful picture of our financial condition and our operating performance.
NAREITs FFO measure adjusts net earnings computed under GAAP to exclude historical cost depreciation and gains and losses from the sales, along with impairment charges, of previously depreciated properties. We agree that these NAREIT adjustments are useful to investors for the following reasons:
(i) | historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP assumes, through depreciation charges, that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. NAREIT stated in its White Paper on FFO since real estate asset values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors have considered presentations of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. Consequently, NAREITs definition of FFO reflects the fact that real estate, as an asset class, generally appreciates over time and depreciation charges required by GAAP do not reflect the underlying economic realities. |
(ii) | Real estate investment trusts were created as a legal form of organization in order to encourage public ownership of real estate as an asset class through investment in firms that were in the business of long-term ownership and management of real estate. The exclusion, in NAREITs definition of FFO, of gains and losses from the sales, along with impairment charges, of previously depreciated operating real estate assets allows investors and analysts to readily identify the operating results of the long-term assets that form the core of a REITs activity and assists in comparing those operating results between periods. We include the gains and losses (including impairment charges) from dispositions of land and development properties, as well as our proportionate share of the gains and losses (including impairment charges) from dispositions of development properties recognized by our unconsolidated entities, in our definition of FFO. |
Our FFO Measures
At the same time that NAREIT created and defined its FFO measure for the real estate investment trust industry, it also recognized that management of each of its member companies has the responsibility and authority to publish financial information that it regards as useful to the financial community. We believe stockholders, potential investors and financial analysts who review our operating results are best served by a defined FFO measure that includes other adjustments to net earnings computed under GAAP in addition to those included in the NAREIT defined measure of FFO. Our FFO measures are used by management in analyzing our business and the performance of our properties and we believe that it is important that stockholders, potential investors and financial analysts understand the measures management uses.

We use these FFO measures, including by segment and region, to: (i) evaluate our performance and the performance of our properties in comparison to expected results and results of previous periods, relative to resource allocation decisions; (ii) evaluate the performance of our management; (iii) budget and forecast future results to assist in the allocation of resources; (iv) assess our performance as compared to similar real estate companies and the industry in general; and (v) evaluate how a specific potential investment will impact our future results. Because we make decisions with regard to our performance with a long-term outlook, we believe it is appropriate to remove the effects of short-term items that we do not expect to affect the underlying long-term performance of the properties. The long-term performance of our properties is principally driven by rental income. While not infrequent or unusual, these additional items we exclude in calculating FFO, as defined by Prologis, are subject to significant fluctuations from period to period that cause both positive and negative short-term effects on our results of operations in inconsistent and unpredictable directions that are not relevant to our long-term outlook.
We use our FFO measures as supplemental financial measures of operating performance. We do not use our FFO measures as, nor should they be considered to be, alternatives to net earnings computed under GAAP, as indicators of our operating performance, as alternatives to cash from operating activities computed under GAAP or as indicators of our ability to fund our cash needs.
FFO, as defined by Prologis
To arrive at FFO, as defined by Prologis, we adjust the NAREIT defined FFO measure to exclude:
(i) | deferred income tax benefits and deferred income tax expenses recognized by our subsidiaries; |
(ii) | current income tax expense related to acquired tax liabilities that were recorded as deferred tax liabilities in an acquisition, to the extent the expense is offset with a deferred income tax benefit in GAAP earnings that is excluded from our defined FFO measure; |
(iii) | foreign currency exchange gains and losses resulting from debt transactions between us and our foreign consolidated subsidiaries and our foreign unconsolidated entities; |
(iv) | foreign currency exchange gains and losses from the remeasurement (based on current foreign currency exchange rates) of certain third party debt of our foreign consolidated subsidiaries and our foreign unconsolidated entities; and |
(v) | mark-to-market adjustments and related amortization of debt discounts associated with derivative financial instruments. |
We calculate FFO, as defined by Prologis for our unconsolidated entities on the same basis as we calculate our FFO, as defined by Prologis.
We believe investors are best served if the information that is made available to them allows them to align their analysis and evaluation of our operating results along the same lines that our management uses in planning and executing our business strategy.
Core FFO
In addition to FFO, as defined by Prologis, we also use Core FFO. To arrive at Core FFO, we adjust FFO, as defined by Prologis, to exclude the following recurring and non-recurring items that we recognized directly or our share of these items recognized by our unconsolidated entities to the extent they are included in FFO, as defined by Prologis:
(i) | gains or losses from acquisition, contribution or sale of land or development properties; |
(ii) | income tax expense related to the sale of investments in real estate and third-party acquisition costs related to the acquisition of real estate; |
(iii) | impairment charges recognized related to our investments in real estate generally as a result of our change in intent to contribute or sell these properties; |
(iv) | gains or losses from the early extinguishment of debt; |
(v) | merger, acquisition and other integration expenses; and |
(vi) | expenses related to natural disasters. |
We believe it is appropriate to further adjust our FFO, as defined by Prologis for certain recurring items as they were driven by transactional activity and factors relating to the financial and real estate markets, rather than factors specific to the on-going operating performance of our properties or investments. The impairment charges we have recognized were primarily based on valuations of real estate, which had declined due to market conditions, that we no longer expected to hold for long-term investment. Over the last few years, we made it a priority to strengthen our financial position by reducing our debt, our investment in certain low yielding assets and our exposure to foreign currency exchange fluctuations. As a result, we changed our intent to sell or contribute certain of our real estate properties and recorded impairment charges when we did not expect to recover the costs of our investment. Also, we have purchased portions of our debt securities when we believed it was advantageous to do so, which was based on market conditions, and in an effort to lower our borrowing costs and extend our debt maturities. As a result, we have recognized net gains or losses on the early extinguishment of certain debt due to the financial market conditions at that time. In addition, we and our co-investment ventures make acquisitions of real estate and we believe the costs associated with these transactions are transaction based and not part of our core operations.
We analyze our operating performance primarily by the rental income of our real estate and the revenue driven by our investment management business, net of operating, administrative and financing expenses. This income stream is not directly impacted by fluctuations in the market value of our investments in real estate or debt securities. As a result, although these items have had a material impact on our operations and are reflected in our financial statements, the removal of the effects of these items allows us to better understand the core operating performance of our properties over the long-term.
36
We use Core FFO, including by segment and region, to: (i) evaluate our performance and the performance of our properties in comparison to expected results and results of previous periods, relative to resource allocation decisions; (ii) evaluate the performance of our management; (iii) budget and forecast future results to assist in the allocation of resources; (iv) provide guidance to the financial markets to understand our expected operating performance; (v) assess our operating performance as compared to similar real estate companies and the industry in general; and (vi) evaluate how a specific potential investment will impact our future results. Because we make decisions with regard to our performance with a long-term outlook, we believe it is appropriate to remove the effects of items that we do not expect to affect the underlying long-term performance of the properties we own. As noted above, we believe the long-term performance of our properties is principally driven by rental income. We believe investors are best served if the information that is made available to them allows them to align their analysis and evaluation of our operating results along the same lines that our management uses in planning and executing our business strategy.
Limitations on Use of our FFO Measures
While we believe our defined FFO measures are important supplemental measures, neither NAREITs nor our measures of FFO should be used alone because they exclude significant economic components of net earnings computed under GAAP and are, therefore, limited as an analytical tool. Accordingly, these are only a few of the many measures we use when analyzing our business. Some of these limitations are:
(i) | The current income tax expenses and acquisition costs that are excluded from our defined FFO measures represent the taxes and transaction costs that are payable. |
(ii) | Depreciation and amortization of real estate assets are economic costs that are excluded from FFO. FFO is limited, as it does not reflect the cash requirements that may be necessary for future replacements of the real estate assets. Further, the amortization of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of industrial properties are not reflected in FFO. |
(iii) | Gains or losses from property acquisitions and dispositions or impairment charges related to expected dispositions represent changes in value of the properties. By excluding these gains and losses, FFO does not capture realized changes in the value of acquired or disposed properties arising from changes in market conditions. |
(iv) | The deferred income tax benefits and expenses that are excluded from our defined FFO measures result from the creation of a deferred income tax asset or liability that may have to be settled at some future point. Our defined FFO measures do not currently reflect any income or expense that may result from such settlement. |
(v) | The foreign currency exchange gains and losses that are excluded from our defined FFO measures are generally recognized based on movements in foreign currency exchange rates through a specific point in time. The ultimate settlement of our foreign currency-denominated net assets is indefinite as to timing and amount. Our FFO measures are limited in that they do not reflect the current period changes in these net assets that result from periodic foreign currency exchange rate movements. |
(vi) | The gains and losses on extinguishment of debt that we exclude from our Core FFO, may provide a benefit or cost to us as we may be settling our debt at less or more than our future obligation. |
(vii) | The merger, acquisition and other integration expenses and the natural disaster expenses that we exclude from Core FFO are costs that we have incurred. |
We compensate for these limitations by using our FFO measures only in conjunction with net earnings computed under GAAP when making our decisions. This information should be read with our complete consolidated financial statements prepared under GAAP. To assist investors in compensating for these limitations, we reconcile our defined FFO measures to our net earnings computed under GAAP.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Foreign Currency Risk
We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes and foreign-exchange related variability and earnings volatility on our foreign investments. Foreign currency market risk is the possibility that our financial results or financial position could be better or worse than planned because of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. In order to reduce our exposure to foreign currency risk, we borrow in the currencies in which we are invested, when we deem appropriate. We have also used certain derivative financial instruments, primarily foreign currency forward contracts, and non-derivative financial instruments to further reduce our foreign currency market risk, as we deem appropriate. We do not use financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes and all financial instruments are entered into in accordance with established policies and procedures.
As of March 31, 2014, we had derivative contracts with an aggregate notional amount of 1.0 billion ($1.4 billion using the weighted average forward rate of 1.35) to hedge a portion of our investment in Europe at a fixed euro rate in U.S. dollars. We also had derivative contracts with an aggregate notional amount of ¥24.1billion ($250.0 million using the weighted average forward rate of 96.54) to hedge a portion of our investment in Japan at a fixed yen rate in U.S. dollars. Based on a sensitivity analysis, strengthening or weakening of the U.S. dollar against the euro and Japanese yen by 10% would result in a $162 million positive or negative change, respectively, in our cash flows upon settlement of the forward contracts. These derivatives were designated and qualify as hedging instruments and therefore the changes in fair value of these derivatives are recorded in the foreign currency translation component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in Item 1.
At March 31, 2014, we had 1.4 billion ($1.9 billion) of debt denominated in euro, including 700 million ($959.4 million) of debt issued in February 2014, by the Operating Partnership, which is a U.S. dollar functional entity. To mitigate the risk of fluctuations in the exchange rate of the euro, we designated this debt as non-derivative financial instrument hedges, and as a result, the change in the value of this debt upon translation into dollars is recorded in the foreign currency translation component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss in the Consolidated Balance Sheets to offset the foreign currency fluctuations related to our investment in Europe.
As of March 31, 2014, taking into account the derivative and the non-derivative hedges of our net investment, approximately 82% of our net equity was denominated in U.S. dollars.
Interest Rate Risk
We are also exposed to the impact of interest rate changes. Our interest rate risk objective is to limit the impact of future interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows. To achieve this objective, we primarily borrow on a fixed rate basis for longer-term debt issuances, but we may use interest rate swap agreements to reduce our risk interest rate risk. As of March 31, 2014, we had a total of $298.4 million of variable rate debt outstanding, of which $71.0 million was fixed using an interest rate swap agreement. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we had weighted average daily outstanding borrowings of $168.3 million on our variable rate debt not subject to interest rate swap agreements. An adverse change in interest rates is not expected to have a material impact on results of operations or cash flows.
There were no other significant changes to our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk during the first three months of 2014. Please refer to Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 for a more complete discussion of the market risks we encounter.
